What are the Connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle ? |
Epimysium, Perimysuim, Endomysuim. |
There is three: P.E.E |
|
Epimysium |
Dense regular connective tissue surrounding entire muscle. |
|
|
Perimysuim |
Fibrous connective tissue surrounding fascicles (groups of muscle fibers) |
|
|
Endomysium |
Fine areolar connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber. |
|
|
|
Know the Muscle parts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Myofibrils Three characteristics |
Densly packed, rodlike elements 80 % of cell volume Exhibits striations: perfectly aligned repeating series of a dark A bands and light I bands. |
|
|
|
Myofibril |
|
|
Sarcomere Three characteristics |
Smallest contractile unit (functional unit) of a muscle fiber. The region of a myofibril between two successive Z discs. Composed of thick and thin myofilaments made of contractile proteins. |
|
|
Thick filaments |
Run the entire length of an A band |
|
|
Thin filaments |
Run the length of the I band and partway into the A band. |
|
|
Z disc |
Coin-shaped sheet of proteins that anchors the thin filaments and connects myofibrils to one another. |
|
|
H zone |
Lighter midregion where filaments do not overlap. |
|
|
M line |
Line of protein myomesin that holds adjacent thick filaments together. |
|
|
|
Enlargements of one sarcomere |
|
|
|
Longitudinal section of filaments within one sarcomere of a myofibril |
|
|
Myosin tails contain |
2 interwoven, heavy polypeptide chains |
|
|
Myosin heads contain |
2 smaller, light polypeptide chains that act as cross bridges during contraction. Binding sites for actin of thin filaments Binding sites for ATP ATPase enzymes |
|
|
Insertion |
Attachment to movable bone |
|
|
Origin |
Attachment to immovable or less movable bone. |
|
|
Direct (fleshy) |
Epimysium fused to periosteum if th bone or perichondrium if cartilage. |
|
|
Indirect |
Connective tissue wrappings extend beyond muscle as ropelike tendon or sheetlike aponeurosis |
